Father,

I just ended a busy weekend, one where I started off Saturday morning in prayer and once again starting to feel Your presence, and yet I ended with business, forgetfulness and separation.  I come to You this morning and the distance is palpable.  It is evident, I lived for myself and not for You.  Filling myself up with my own desires and not filling my great need for You, with Your presence.  Will I ever make it through ...

Father,

You know me.  My inmost being, you know how my thoughts betray the greatness of who You are. How I see myself as so much less than anything you ever meant me to be.  I watched the Coffee Bean the other day and was struck how someone told him he had thinking stinking, and how he was able to change in the worst situation. I see that so much in myself. Feelings and thoughts of defeat. How it seems that I can’t win, or at lea...

There is this struggle inside of me... One where there is frustration... One where I feel like I am floundering, with life and purpose.  There is confusion as well. “Am I where I’m supposed to be? Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing?”  Time is ticking... 

There is a pull... a tugging at my heart towards Him.  It is more powerful than a tug, it is like a hook that reaches down to the deepest part of me and painfully pulls wit...

Proof that God loves me...

I used to strive to find God’s love. Working hard to earn it, looking for it everywhere until the miracle of the revelation that He truly does love me.  What an incredible thing to finally know after so many years.  Now wherever I look I find it.  As a matter of fact I found it this morning while celebrating Dawn’s birthday.  You my love are proof that God loves me. 

Proverbs 18:22 (AMP)

He who finds a ...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with someone that I love.  As we sat there I shared with him the greatest of all miracles that we each get to experience as a Christian, a proof that God is real and active in our lives. It’s the greatest of the signs and wonders and for the most part it goes unnoticed in our lives. 

As Christian’s I believe we all have a desire to not only see true miracles but we also want to allow Go...

Read this this morning and have to say it struck me as funny.  

John 7:1

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

I think maybe it could have been said that He did not want to run in Judea.  :)

Anyway, I love this scripture. Jesus knowing His purpose lived in the authority of it, and not the fear of it.  Finding your purpose and living in it will ma...

“My Truth”

It’s become a very popular statement here recently.  I watch as people formulate their Truth through life experiences. From brokenness they grab at little pieces of their lives, arrange them, trying to understand them, and then one day out of that hurt and brokenness, they have their eureka moment, and that turns into their truth. This truth is where they stand and it’s unchallengeable. They are saying to the world, “Y...

Around 1,000 B.C. Solomon penned the book of Ecclesiastes. It is presumed that he was in a backslidden condition.  In this condition and with all of his wisdom, he reasons with himself the plight of man and the utter fallacy of earthly sins, pleasures, and pursuits.  In 12 chapters he proves that the mind of man is the same 3,000 years later. We deal with the same things, the same people, the same desires. In two verses he sums it ...

Over the past several years I have been so blessed to have a small glimpse of God’s great love for us.  I now see how much of it is available but not fully realized. I say that because I believe that one evidence of knowing this love in the smallest amount would cause you to weep for anyone else who does not know Him. The lack of our love for others (all others) is proof that we not only do not know His love but that we do not know...

Today is April 8, 2024, and here in the United States, we are awaiting a total eclipse of the sun.  Then I wake up and the first verse I read has to do with the end times. 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11. It starts off with, “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace a...

Over the past couple of years, I’ve had something creep up in my life and it has started to dominate my thoughts and image of myself. It’s the thought that I’ll never change, and because of that, I’m doomed to failure. I mean... look at my life. Is it not evidence that I simply can’t overcome the ins and outs of day-to-day life? That I keep repeating the same mistakes failing in business and thus an inability to properly provide fo...

On October 7 of this year, Israel was attacked. One of the most clear end-time events to take place in my life. It was so violent, with men, women, children, both elderly and infants losing their lives in horrific ways. Now the world watches to see how Israel will respond, to see if they will be the ones to commit war crimes. I watch as men of every nation are acting and reacting, trying to make the best decisions possible, thinkin...

We all have those days in our lives when something seems off.  Those times when our thoughts are not filled with peace, love, or mercy. Those moments where there appears to be a distance between you and the one who created you.  For me that day is today. I don’t know if it is the fact that I’m slowing down after the Thanksgiving break as well as my lack of discipline during that break. Or maybe it’s just a moment when God creates a...

Those Feet

I’m sure we’ve all done it. You know, walking through a beautiful lawn barefoot. The soft cool grass on a hot summer day is so comforting to those bare toes. Then, before you know it you’re looking to the sky as beautiful billowing white clouds sweep the world away. Until... you step in something. Now your foot is covered in mud or something worse.

It’s cool to me how scriptures that I’ve read time and time again can sud...

Mine...

Recently I dealt with another one of my failings. I fell short of friendship when a precious friend needed me most and it was evident that it was me, my selfishness, and financial failings that caused them such great pain. For 3-days, I was submerged in failure and guilt like I don’t remember ever feeling. I mean I was completely guilty, I was no better than a thief, and I was undone.  Seeing yet another failure in myself a...

Reading through the book of Romans has been eye-opening and confusing at times. For someone who has led most of my life trying to earn God’s favor and presence, at least until the day that I truly realized that He loved me, unconditionally loved me that is, I didn’t understand that there was no need to try to earn what was freely given.  So I lived my life with a list of what was right and what was wrong, based mostly on what other...
